September Bullet Journal Setup - Clouds Theme (Free Printable!)

The highlight of the cover page is a pop-up paper rainbow which I made using vellum paper and washi tapes. It is super easy to make! You can watch the setup video for a demonstration. Here are the steps:

1. Take a piece of thin paper. I chose vellum paper since it is thin and yet it does not tear easily. The length and width of the paper depends on how big you want your rainbow to be, so I would recommend that you experiment with a piece of scrap paper first before making the actual rainbow. 
2. Next, layer several strips of washi tapes across the paper. I used five tapes of varying shades of beige and brown. The sequence of the colours goes like this: 1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1. By following this sequence, the colours will look symmetrical when folded!
3. Then, fold the paper accordion-style (the shorter side of the paper). Continue until it’s all folded.
4. Open the paper again and fold it along the halfway mark of the paper’s width. 
5. Next, fold the paper back into the accordion shape and fold it into half. Secure one end to form a rainbow. You can use glue, tape or even a stapler. 
6. Paste the rainbow inside your journal. Make sure to align its centre to the centre of the two pages. This ensures that the journal can still be closed properly after the rainbow is attached.
